The idea
Buddies Café is a community run café open to EVERYONE in and around Chorley. Our aim is to improve the mental health of our customers and volunteers by bringing people together for a natter, a brew and to do some crafts.
Buddies Café will run on Wednesdays from 9-3pm, breakfast is available from 9am, lunch from 11.30am and our craft session from 12.30-2pm. The afternoon is finished off with a brew. The café is open all day, with our customers taking part in as many or as few of the activities that they choose. Come for the day if you can!
Buddies Café is affordable, we are offering food and drinks at a low price, offering good quality food to all.
What we'll deliver
- A community cafe serving food at an affordable price
- Weekly craft classes to help to improve the mental health of the community
- Friendly volunteers welcoming our customers in
Why it's a great idea
Buddies Cafe will bring a much needed meeting space to the Buttermere area. Residents can come in for a warm brew and food, chat with their friends and spend time crafting.
Mums and dads can come along to our toddler group in the morning. Children can come along in the holidays to do some crafting, as well as parents and children being fed for free in the holidays.
Business people can come along and use our space for meetings.
All members of the community are welcome for a natter and a brew. We are truly a community cafe where all are welcome.
